Used by our company for our...
Strengths: Very high reliability. Both USB and parallel inputs. Shorter case than most printers. Positive locking cartridge: contacts do not slide, reducing wear and tear.
Weakness: Wider case than most printers, barely (!) fits in 19" rack opening. The "auto-alignment" procedure uses too much ink. Smaller than average ink cartridge capacity. Slow color print in high resolution.
Used by our company for our customer's use. We test, repackage, and ship a week later. Overall a very good performer.
Zero percent failure after 100 units, better than most of HP's "right-out-of-the-box" failure rate.
Uses too much ink during auto-alignment. Can't stop auto-alignment without turning unit off.

Strengths: Great Color Prints, quiet, automatic paper sensoring, easy setup, price ($90-before rebate) is cheap, can print on both sides of paper, faster than my aging HP 932
Weakness: ink costs are higher than cannon i850, printing speed is slower than cannon i850, need different ink cartilages than my old HP 932
I recently replaced my aging (3 yeaar old) HP 932 printer with the HP 5550. I seriously considered the Cannon i850 but the cannon's inability to print on both sides of paper (can't make greeting/birthday cards the way I prefer) sold me on the HP. I paid $90 (before the rebate) at Walmart (local) for a new 5550. My HP 5550 can print a 4 by 6 color photo on their premium photo paper in 78...

Strengths: Very easy to install. This is my first purchase of a printer, I originally purchased because of name and price. Service my needs as a teacher and full time college student.
Weakness: A little noisey and a little slow on some print jobs.
I recommend this printer to any first time buyer. It will service your basic and some advanced needs. The print jobs are of very good quality. I would purchase this printer again if necessary.

If you want a simple workhorse...
Strengths: Good value for the money. I find it satisfactory for a backup printer.
Weakness: Chintzy construction, not as beefy as the previous HP printers 694C & 950C
If you want a simple workhorse printer without a lot of bells & whistles, the 5550 is the perfect printer. Perfect for students who write reports & want to use pictures or graphics.

Nothing else close to this price...
Strengths: Outstanding photo print quality if proper paper and settings are selected. Very easy to use.
Weakness: Slooow due to exceptional quality.
Nothing else close to this price range seems to give the photo quality of this printer. Be sure to use best paper and optional photo ink cartridge for best photos.The trade off is speed and possibly cost per print. Could also be nice if photo cartridge were integrated to avoid the switching of cartridges back and forth.I still switch over to my old laser printer to print text for speed and cost...
